What do I need for a 8.8 rear end swap?
Hey. May be a stupid question im asking here but I have a 1990 bronco (actually it as a VW body on top, @that_vw_bronco get that plug) I want to do a 8.8 rear end disc dwap. What do I need to do this? It's a 1990 bronco, I would guess new driveshaft, what other parts besides brake lines? How hard are putting new brake lines in? what kind of fab do I need to do? Thanks
If anyone has done this before (im sure they have) I would love to hear your input!

you already have an 8.8 rear diff. doing rear disc will require a kit, broncograveyard has one that is correct i believe. Just pay attention to the disc bolt pattern, you need 5x5.5 anything else will need redrilled. since you have a 90 you could also do a 9inch swap.
just make sure the diff ratio is the same or very close to the front ratio
